Rule #1: Any game referring to itself as unique isn’t.
That’s my description. The mechanic is something I haven’t heard of before. It may be gimmicky, but we’ll see…
While this one isn’t a terrible offender, I’m amazed at how many game descriptions I could read and still know nothing about the game.
Marketing-speak is just useless.
That’s not even marketing speak. I’m an actual marketing copywriter.
It’s a bland description of a type of game and of game features. Nothing exciting about how it’s written.
Since the dev replied to me, I was thinking of offering them free help, since it’s a competitive marketplace and I like seeing small developers succeed. except then I saw they used AI in the game’s development. Hard pass.
